Good food. Good friends. Gluten-free.

GF gingerbread men

Nothing makes it feel like the holidays more than the smell of gingerbread and evergreen in the air. This year, we had a wonderful party decorating cookies with friends and family to get ready. We did both sugar cookies and a full proof gluten free gingerbread cookies! I was so excited and nervious try this recipe out, but after some tweaking and adjusting, I have a full proof and delicious recipie that will make your heart, and taste buds happier than a red nosed reindeer on a rooftop.

Spoon icing into a pastry bag fitted with a very small plain round tip (such as Ateco #0 or #1). Pipe designs on cookies. Let cookies stand at room temperature until set, at least 2 hours (preferably overnight). Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers for up to 1 week.

We turned ours into cookie ornaments using a toothpick to make a hole in the top of each cookie as soon as they came out of the oven and were on the cooling rack. If you try to make the hole before, the cookies just spreads into it so after worked much better.
